Shadowed Unit Frames

SUF focuses on a simple configuration while maintaining the flexibility that most users will care about, preventing unnecessary bloating of the addon that sacrifices performance. While you aren't going to be able to set the health bar to be exactly 3.14 pixels outside of the unit frames, you can change options you actually care about such as bar height, ordering, frame height and so on. To speed up configuration, you can configure multiple units at the same time through the global configuration. For example, if you want to set the height of the Player, Target, Focus and Party frames to 50 then the height of Target's Target, Target's Target of Target, Focus Target to 30 you can easily do this by changing two options instead of having to do it seven times.

However, should you need a little bit of extra configuration do not despair! An advanced option is included that will unlock additional configuration giving finer control over the configuration.

Anchoring
Are you driven crazy by your party frames not aligning up exactly with your player frames, even if it's only half a pixel off? The anchoring system will let you solve all alignment issues, by allowing you to anchor a frame to another and set a simple offset from the frame it is anchored to, or by manually setting the X/Y position of the frame.

Using the screen shot as an example, if you drag the player frame the other frames will move with the player frame preserving the alignment and spacing. Each frame can still be manually positioned wherever you want, but this gives you a way of easily anchoring and moving frames around without having to use a ruler.

Zone configuration (Disabling options/units by zone type)
Units and modules can be enabled or disabled based on the type of zone you are in. For example, if you want to see party targets and party pets while you are in an arena but nowhere else then you can use the visibility options to enable it only while inside an arena. Modules can also be disabled by zone type, if you want to see party auras while in a raid instance but nowhere else you can disable the module in raid instances only.

Auras: Can be set to only show auras you casted, or can cast on others. Can enlarge auras that you casted, and hide the cooldown ring on the timers of auras you didn't cast as well to make it more obvious which ones you casted and which ones you didn't

Aura Timers: You will need a mod such as OmniCC to show timers on buffs and debuffs

Aura Indicators: Display colored squares or icons for certain auras on any unit

Fader: Fades frames when out of combat and inactive (100% mana/no target)

Class Power (Eclipse, Holy Power, etc): Supports all of the class power features from Eclipse to Burning Embers.

Highlighting: Border highlighting of frames based on mousing over them, curable debuffs, aggro or you are targeting/focusing them

Range Checking: Fades frames out that are out of range of you

Exportable Layouts: If you have a layout, or your friend has a layout you want to try out you can export/import SUF layouts by going to /suf -> Layout Manager

Profiles: You can change from any profile to another one without reloading your UI, should you want to use a completely different layout based on zone you can easily switch profiles without hassle

Pretty much all the general unit frame settings are in, health bars, cast bars, power bars, portraits, indicators and so on.

Modules
Basic module support is included, should you be interested in building a module see the documentation on github for more information.

Originally posted by Shadowed Zidomo: When you noticed the party pet bug, were you using the world map in any way with it in full screen? Or using ALT - Z to hide the UI.

Nope. It hasn't happened since the last report, but at that time, neither the above were applicable.

I use Mapster non-fullscreen, but it was never brought up during the time I was within range of party members. It was likely, though, brought up before I reached other party members before entering the instance as was trying to ride out to Dire Maul to meet them...heh.

shkm: These aren't going to happen. In the case of #1/#2 the tag and text systems in general are meant to be simple, and per-frame or per text options complicate it a fair bit. As for #3, SUF is always going to be for the simple rectangle type of setups with everything contained inside.

Zidomo: That's quite odd, I switched it to just check death status when it updates range rather than trying to be fancy. Try again with next beta, should be fixed.

Olwar: Use the [classcolor] tag, for example "[classcolor][name][close]" will show names with a class color.

Sirix: Well now, that's a very interesting bug you've found. It's a larger issue than just the power bar, I'm looking into it.

Hey Shadowed! I'm getting back into WoW and returned to your wonderful SUF, so I have 2-3 requests.

1. Individual fonts for different frames or text. A global setting is fine, but it would be nice to switch certain frames (particularly raid) into a different font.

2. Somewhat related to 1: option for a font outline which can be set on a per-frame (or per-text) basis.

3. I asked this before and you said no, but it's worth another shot now! Would still really love cast bars that can go outside of the frame. I'm not talking the other side of the screen, just an offset from the top or bottom. Currently I'm putting a 1-3 pixel cast bar at the top and having text offset from the frame, but it would work much nicer if the cast bar could serve as the background without messing with the frame.

Any Druid rebirths of someone in combat in a raid, that person's range alpha always remains in the "out of range" state until you either relog or sometime later in the same session. This has been repeatable here (I don't have a Druid, its someone else ressing them in combat).

Same issue if someone dies, you relog and they are brought back to life when you are offline.

The odd thing, though, is that this issue doesn't seem to happen after a Shaman reincarnation.

It is the same even when you remove the druid mana bar option.
Any way to fix this?

EDIT: Also the lua code you said to replace doesn't work for me. I suspect it's something with the SUF settings, as I replaced what you said both manually and copypaste several times. The UF are like in screenshot.
